Question on Soundsmith carts

I have been looking at some sound smith carts, and was wondering if the mkii vs original are that different.

I am seeing I can get the zephyr non mkii for about 1k versus the mkii for 2k or an older voice for like 1600.

is it better to go with a higher cart and older generation or newer generation and lower cart.

I see a new zephyr or older voice or older zephyr star mimic.

thanks for the input,  k

Does he answer calls?  Did not know that was an option.

Something to be said on knowing your audience, maybe the voice is the way to go instead.

Looking at the Weigh it is super low at 6.8 grams...

you gave me alot to think about here.  Really appreciate it.

I like the previous post.  I have a dampened arm, and Azimuth adjustment so not a huge amount of impact for me in theory.

I am honestly thinking about the Paua (old) and Voice

@mijostyn, even more than the Hyperion and the catcus nonsense.

I email Soundsmith and he was very honest.  Net new and not used, older higher end will squeeze more music out of newer lower end units.

Very refreshing to see a vendor to be so honest.  Case closed...
